interpret/dismiss/elect/accept/think of A as B.除了這些簡單的詞語外,當賓語A復雜時會后置于B,形式如下: v. as B A。我們來看一句話On the other hand he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that while he was a good observer he had no power of reasoning.動詞是accept,介詞是as,as后直接跟的賓語B(形容詞),A由于復雜后置到了B后,是the charge,后跟一系列的定語-made by some of his critics以及同位語-while he was a good observer he had no power of reasoning,這句話是說另一方面,他認為一些批評者的指控沒有根據,指控內容是說雖然他是個好的觀察者,但他沒有推理能力。
當as作為連詞時,可以表時間:隨著....../當......時候(一般位于句首)。例句如下:As funding for science has declined, scientists have attacked "anti-science" in several books.隨著用于科學的資金減少,科學家在一些書中攻擊“反科學”論調。可以表原因:既然、由于=since。例句如下:We are obliged to them because some of these languages have since vanished, as the peoples who spoke them died out or became assimilated and lost their native languages.我們感激他們,是因為一些語言自此以后消失了,消失是由于這些語言使用者已經死去或者被同化,進而失去了他們本族語言?梢员碜尣剑罕M管、雖然,(as一定不能位于句首,位于句中第二個詞)。例句如下:
In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought in the form of inactive eggs.另外,盡管很難相信,確實存在沙漠魚,這些魚以不活躍卵的形式在干旱中存活數年?梢员肀容^,as...as + 詞/句子:和...一樣、像...一樣;not so......as + 詞/句子:和...不一樣、不像...那樣;not so much...as...:與其說...不如說...。可以表方式,等于in the way that,按照、正如。
As作為關系詞時,引導限定性定語從句:先行詞前有such/the same;非限定性定語從句:修飾整個句子,比如As is known to all, ...;..., as is often the case;...,as you know,...。
